As a helicopter techy, I am looking at the design and thinking "why have a fenistron when there doesn't appear to be any reason to counter a torque reaction generated by a rotor?"

I can see that it would be good for Yaw control but it would also be highly inefficient to have a fenistron rotating constantly with neutral pitch on the blades. It would also be ridiculous to keep stopping and starting it because it would not have an instant control effect...

Pick up last nights Graham Norton on iPlayer... Their clip was of the Bubbleship in a Dogfight. Spangly indeed. And mercifully early in the show.

It went on too long and I got bored of it. Then there was the time shifting and alternative universes and that was it...

As a Trekkie.

This. Pushing too much out too quickly over the run of TNG, DS9 and Voyager over 14 years non-stop overlapping 3 decades... I think they just ran out of steam and the audience became bored of the same old stuff getting recycled...

Help. The radiator is now fixed in the third bedroom. Not only does this mean that this can now be decorated as my second daughters own room before her 1st birthday, which is good. However now I have now lost the space required for my desk and shelffor hobby space. Tried to go mobile with a smaller setup but cannot find anywhere with good enough light for me to work after the kids bedtime.

What new series? Don't they mean the last half of last year's five episode "half season" wich was supposed to resume sometime ebfore Christmas but got replaced by some chavvy nonsense instead?

Was never coming back before Xmas... The Christmas special with new companion elements should have made that very clear. TBH I am more concerned about when it restarts as I dont get back from China until next week. so as long as its not this Saturday then I am good to go.

How do they match up with Geronimos Apex investigators... Seems a speccy science type might be sourced quickly and reduce the next round of badgering by 1 and allow you to get on with Deano's female second in command.

Is iyt too late to suggest 5 alternative 'favourite' heads (perhaps as and additional sprue) for Mr Alexander maybe with a possible silenced pistol and machine gun weapon options?

Certainly it's streets ahead of the last lot; just not up there with the classic stuff.

Series 1 and 2 were the best for me. Downhill gradually from there with each successive series although I kept watching out of loyalty. Current series has had me at least smiling all the way through each episode and a few big laughs, so far, so that's a big improvement over at least the last 4 series and the cringeworthy Back To Earth special, from my POV, at least.

Can't argue with anything there. Series 1 and 2 are by far the best.

Not a major surprise thats the point where it stopped being co-written by Grant and Naylor> They had a falling out and will never work together again. Doug Naylor continued solo. Perhaps their mutual loathing seemed to carry over into the comedy gold of the original Lister/Rimmer dynamic.
